A correspondent of the Cowntry
Gentleman advises those who wish to
raise cheap pork. never to carry a hoo
through the winter. There IS more
money in keeping one animal well for
ten or eleven montas, and getting three
hundred and fifty or four hundred
pounds of nice pork. than In keeping
more animals eighteen months and
getting no larger returns.
Try this Austrian method of cook,
ing calf's liver: Remove the skin from
the liver. and cut it in pieces as thick
as your finger, and lay them in milkfor
several hours. Then take them out OF
the milk and sprinkle them with flour;
dip them in beaten egg and cover them
with -four with which you have mixed
a little salt. Fry them with hot drip.

Cream Dates: Put the white OF an
egg into a bowl, and add an equal
quantity of cold water. Mix with this
confectioners' sugar until it is stiff
enough to mold. Remove the seeds
from the dates with a sharp knife, and
fill the opening with the cream, which
is formed in the shape of the seed, only
larger, of course, SO that it 6lls the
cavity; then set away for the cream to
dry. The cream may be favored to
taste. Boston BuIieti7I.
A correspondent of the Plou5hmap
tells how he packs cabbages: I'VE
have tried all sorts of ways to keep
cabbages over winter, and at last hit
upon plan | have not seen in any Of
our papers. We take the heads only,
and placing barrels in the corner Of an
unused stable, put in good quantity
of dried leaves, then bury head and
stuff leaves around it, another head, or
two. if small, more leaves and so on.
Three barrels hold all we need. We
pile and pack thoroughly in and around
these barrels all the leaves we have
patience to carry, and lay old boards
over them. We have done this several
years"
